DayZ FPS has me pullin my hair out for Dayz

[Cobs 49]

I'm running:
Intel i3 3220 3.3Ghz (2 Cores 4 logical processors)
AMD 7950 3GB
8GB DDR3
Windows 7 64 Bit
Steam Version using Dayz Commander with beta patch installed, current versions of everything / drivers and all that meat.

When I play DayZ, my GPU load is around 40%, my CPU load is around 45%.  
I play on just about everything highest, Video memory default, resolution at 1366 x 768 (looks best on my 720p tv), anti-aliasing at 2x.  I've also tweaked the config file from multiple performance guides, and tried just about every command-line combination that exists.

The graphics settings don't even matter, Low or high I see shit FPS.  Sometimes its good, most times it sucks.  To me anything under 39 FPS feels wrong.  It drops to the 20's sometimes.

People will say "oh well it's a CPU intensive game"... except my cpu is only running at 45% load.

So they say "oh well it's the servers".  But it seems like this happens on every single server I try.  Do all servers run on a dial up connection in Nigeria?

"Oh well the game is not optimized very well".   I'm going to optimize my foot in someones ass.  >:(

Get rid of the AA! What's wrong with you? Also play at 1280x720 if your monitor doesn't distort it for whatever reason. Anyway, 39+FPS is pretty good.

In DayZ anything over 30fps is good.  Blame Arma's shit optimisation.

My GPU load is only around 40%, I can crank that up or turn it off, makes no difference in fps.  1366 x 768 looks best on this monitor, I've tried them all.  39 FPS is not good.  Good FPS is 40-60+, and I'm all about good beer and good FPS.  People should not settle for 20-30 fps in a game that looks like this!  It's like paying the price for Sam Adams and getting non alcoholic Keystone.

Don't complain about your FPS if its over 30. I'm lucky to get over 25+.

Your CPU is locked and theoretically you can't do anything about it. My advice is add post-processing to low and you most likely won't feel the lag at 20 FPS, like I do.

1366x768 TRIPLE HEAD looks best on mine, but 1280x720 runs better.

Let me reiterate:  

My GPU and CPU are both only running at less than half load.  Less than half load.  My game is lagging, but my CPU and GPU are like chilling outside like meh, I don't get paid enough to care.  If I'm lagging shouldn't my GPU or CPU be like oh crap, and run at full capacity?  Sigh.

Hello there

 

This is a known Arma issue not specifically a DAYZ problem. If you really want hard info on it, try the Bohemia forums.

 

For many, you are getting decent FPS.

Oh well, what about your HDD? I see you have 8GB of RAM so you could try moving some PBO's to a RAM disk and see if that helps. If you're already on an SSD then please disregard what I said :)
